Schools succeed when their students succeed. That means high retention rates, quality education, and great career placement.

Notebowl drives classroom engagement and fosters community involvement, creating better outcomes for universities and students alike.

Create Learning Communities

Intuitive, social design connects students and instructors. Promote after-class discussion, make it easy to ask questions and give answers that everyone will see. Keep your students up to date on assignments, test, and grades.

Make Real connections

Students are more likely to get involved when it's easy to find out what's going on. Simple group tools allow students and faculty to create groups for academic or community purposes, see group activity, and join in on all the existing clubs, organizations, and departments.

Keep in Contact

Let's be honest, email doesn't work well for students. What does work? Notifications. Combined with a newsfeed to bring together all the interactions from classes, groups, and the school at large, you get a highly engaged and well-informed student body.

Classroom

More Learning, Less Management

Drive student engagement with social tools

Like a classroom, Notebowl is inherently social. It’s designed to naturally extend class discussions online. Questions are easily answered in a place that everyone can see, while comments, likes, and sharing encourage participation.

Always up to Date

Communicate like you mean it with your students. Have them share their thoughts organically, ask questions, share files and images all in one location. Now you have an exciting place to extend class to an online space.

Assignments

Put your homework, tests, quizzes and any action item for your class in a digital syllabus organized by dates. Connected to your calendar and all classes sync together. Making it easy for students to stay on top of all work and keep it nice and tidy for management.

Generate Discussion

Student-friendly discussion boards drive interaction with familiar social features like comments and profile pictures. Our quick grader makes it a breeze to evaluate assigned discussions.

Groups

IMPROVE DISCOVERY & PARTICIPATION

Get students involved with campus life

Involvement in campus groups and activities provides key support for students in school, and builds valuable connections that will help them down the road.

Simplify Discovery

Letting students know about activities and events is a real challenge - just look at all those flyers everywhere. Notebowl makes it easy for students to see what’s happening on campus.

Easy Organization

Let your community collaborate in groups for classes, social activities, events, clubs, organizations, departments, student services and more. Share information, files, or even jump on a video call.

Clubs, Organizations & Services

From departments to study groups, Notebowl provides a place for every organization. And it’s easy for students to filter and find groups based on their personal preferences, making it more likely they’ll find something they connect with.

News Feed

Engaging by Design

Social tools for a social environment

Notebowl harnesses the power of familiar social tools to keep students engaged with the entire campus experience from classes to sporting events.

Never Miss Out

While they might gloss over emails or paper packets, the Newsfeed allows students to quickly scan all the updates from their classes and communities, helping them to stay informed.

Highly Visible Announcements

Faculty, administrators, and other leaders can communicate directly with students by posting announcements that students will actually see. Comment and sharing options allow even more engagement.

Anonymous Questions

Help shy or embarrassed students get answers by asking anonymous public questions - Instructors know who asked, but class members won’t.
